I've just told the missus if anyone asks: Condor vouchers is the reply

I'm after some rigid forks for my MTB commuter bike. I'll see if I can talk 'erself into some luvly carbon ones.

Lists are for people who spend loads of money on multiple presents for people! In my family it is one present each, worth up to £30.

My small family means that I only get presents from 3 people (mum, uncle and brother). My brother is getting me a running top, my mum will get me a pack of whey protein or something like that and the request to my uncle is also for some supplements.

Not that I'm into bikes but...

Bike mech stand
Parktool Torque wrench
Spanner Set
Measuring Calipers
Crank Brothers Multitool
Adjustable Spanner

Ahem

Thanks fellas - this list has inspired me to do loads of my xmas shopping!

Well my wish list is looking something like:

Work Stand
Mavic Askium Wheels (Black Shimano)
Koolstop Salmon brake pads (not running new rims without new rubber!)
Specialized Aero 8 helmet (I think......) in red/black
Took kit to include cassette remover
Bike maintenance book

I also spotted some excellent books at Waterstones the other day whilst shopping for the other half and would probably add most of these:

Pets with Tourettes
More Pets with Tourettes
A man walks into a bar 2 (I have the first one......)
Crap cyclelanes

The above isn't really a heavy reading load, more designed to make me chuckle and there's something quite amusing about innocent looking animal pictures emblazoned with quotes that would make a sailor blush

I'd like some new shoes

Obviously cycling ones

and some new socks

and some wispa bars

If you want a good basic bike maintenance book then I'd highly recommend the Haines Bicycle Manual

Is that this one?

Using Amazon's rather creepy "What people brought after looking at this item" feature I was also considering this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Road-Bike-Maint ... ZFXN5N7A91

Of course I can just ask for both, I'm primarily wanting a book so I can learn to maintain and service my road bike but having a more general one might be helpful as I can then sort out the other family members bikes to :-)
